RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee to execute a contract with Stryker Sales, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $67,000, for maintenance of emergency medical equipment, for the period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds are budgeted in the CCCFPD EMS Transport Fund (fund 204000).

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) uses highly technical emergency medical equipment to provide care on the scene of medical emergencies. LifePak defibrillators are utilized by EMTs and Paramedics to analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock (defibrillation) to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm. They can also be used as a pacing device and conduct 12-lead electrocardiograms. LUCAS chest compression systems provide consistent chest compressions to cardiac arrest patients. Maintenance of this equipment is provided by the manufacturer, Stryker Corporation.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The service plan obligates the District to hold Stryker harmless from and indemnify Stryker for any third party claims or losses or injuries or death arising from the District's actions in performing the service agreement.
